Flower Beds and Baby Fever.

-
It was shaping up to be another relaxing day, right up until early afternoon when James asked for my help in his garden. I'm always happy to lend him a hand, if for no other reason than it helps prevent tension with Jean, whose patio area is persistently immaculate.

However, there was decidedly more to his request than I had anticipated. Once we actually got our hands dirty, he finally dropped the real news: Jean had developed a mild case of baby fever.

I reminded James that while Ranih and I had indeed been trying for a baby, but we certainly hadn't expected things to happen this quickly. Regardless, he can't really blame us for Jean's sudden maternal streak.

As for the garden itself, he had decided to alter the shape of one of the flower beds. Luckily, there wasn't much planted in it yet, which made reshaping the border fairly straightforward.

James is stationed at our moon outpost next week, and I might end up joining him around midweek. There's always something remarkably relaxing about putting in a shift while looking out at the view of the planet and her orbital platform.

We spent the rest of the afternoon unwinding with Ranih and Jean in our back garden. As I write this, a heated debate is underway over what to throw on the BBQ. My vote is firmly cast for kebabs.

What Do We Know

Well, I've done a little bit of research and Rom is still the current Grand Nagus of the Ferengi Alliance at the ripe age of 137 with his wife Leeta (never quote a lady's age). From what I have read, he has made a few reforms to Ferengi society and the Rules of Acquisition. I won't go into details here, but suffice to say, they look like they are definitely an improvement with room to grow. I wonder if he has time to see an old friend and if so, it would make me the first Dax ever to visit Ferenginar.

who am I?

It's me, Dax. I'm Orzal, the 10th host of the Dax Symbiont. I followed on from Ezri in 2462, she was 108. To say that it's an honour to be the current host is an understatement.  I met my fiancée, Ranih, in 2466, just four years later and I proposed to her, as the sun rose over the Fa'hari Mountains on Trill, early this year. Our wedding is next year in the summer. Lots to do plenty to plan and sort. So, we live and work on the colony, our home for the foreseeable future. In my job, I do get a slight perk. Every third week, get to work from our orbital station. From there I enjoy a view of Docosie III and any amazing ships that visit.  Best get back to work - Dax.

Unexpected

Well.... That was unexpected. I visited the coffee shop this afternoon, just to get out of the house and stretch my legs.  When I got there, it was quite busy so as I was looking for a place to sit with my coffee, a voice spoke above the background noise say I could join them. I hadn't noticed who they were till I sat down.  That's when I looked at the couple sat across from me, Benjamin and Alora Bashir.  I tried to act normal but Alora picked up on it and asked if I was ok.  I thought about how to respond for what seemed like an eternity. Just as I was about reply, their coffees arrived. After a short pause, I introduced myself. Benjamin's eyes widened, similar to the infamous stare of Gowron. I then said that yes, I was Ezri but I'm Orzal now, and I live on Docosie as one of the administrators.  I told them about my life here, Ranih and our holographic cat, Jodo. I told them that I was aware they were moving here but didn't expect to possibly run into them un...
